One thing that gets me in the US: the homeless. For some of them it feels like they are literally dying on the street (in a very non-metaphoric sense: I saw some injuries). Also entrepreneurial homeless people, actually trying to earn money by making themselves useful however hard that may prove. That's something I never saw in central Europe -- where I think someone like that wouldn't ended up in the street. The safety net in the US is non-existent, and that seems pretty much primitive to me. That being said, yes of course third world countries are worse, as far as the average or median of the population is concerned. But frankly, I'm not sure if I would rather be a normal citizen in a third world country, or fall on hard times in the US.
